He’ll be 100 by Nov. 2nd, so he’s only 24% older than Biden. I like those odds! Maybe his running mate can be Buzz Aldrin

Woody Guthrie at the height of his ALS would be a better choice than Trump (TBH, with his attitude towards fascism, he would probably have been a better choice than Biden too).

Why on earth do so many people not realize that if you vote for a corpse, he doesnt actually get to be president? If the corpse wins, we wont even know who the president is. Imagine electing trump, but hes entirely unaccountable to anybody because nobody knows who he is. Thats what would happen if we elect a corpse. Maybe this is a hot take, but I think there should be a president.

Incorrect. That’s already accounted for in most circumstances:

  • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before party convention: The convention decides the party’s candidate.

  • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before election day: The party selects a replacement.

  • Candidate dies before the Electoral College meets: The only exception at this time. Some states would need to hold emergency legislature sessions to amend their laws to allow their electors to vote. Others will mainly be assigned to the running mate.

  • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before Inauguration Day: This is very clearly established in the 20th Amendment. The running mate/VP takes over and selects their new VP.

Just because it hasn’t happened before doesn’t mean that noone has prepared for the possibility.

We get it, you’re looking for approval for wanting to vote for Trump because he’s a little younger than Biden.
